Duke redshirt senior QB Anthony Boone completed 15-of-31 attempts for 193 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 36-31 Sun Bowl setback to Arizona State on Saturday.

It wasn't a bad performance, but it illustrated why Boone isn't an NFL prospect. He has neither the size, arm strength, or accuracy to call the shots in the pros, though we expect him to be in a camp this summer. Boone threw for 2,700 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions this year. TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline wrote last month that he had problems seeing Boone as anything other than a free agent. Pauline's best comparison for the quarterback was former Georgia Tech gunslinger Joe Hamilton. Boone will play in the East-West Shrine game. Sun, Dec 28, 2014 02:31:00 PM

TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline wrote that he had problems seeing Duke senior QB Anthony Boone as anything other than a free agent.

Boone has passed for 1,970 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions this year. Analyst Pauline was not impressed with Saturday's game against Virginia Tech. In that game, wrote Pauline, "Boone missed three wide open receivers [in the first half] which would’ve put the game out of reach for Duke." The senior was 18-of-40 on passes in the game--the third time this season in which Boone has completed fewer than half of his passes. Pauline's best comparison for the quarterback was former Georgia Tech slinger Joe Hamilton. Mon, Nov 17, 2014 06:23:00 PM

Duke senior QB Anthony Boone has accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine game.

The senior quarterback group is fairly weak this season, but Boone has plenty of starting experience in a David Cutcliffe offense. Boone has displayed the ability to stick to the pocket and hit receivers at multiple levels of the field. He has been subbed out in certain situations in favor of a mobile quarterback, however.

Duke redshirt senior QB Anthony Boone completed 19-of-33 attempts for 180 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 41-3 victory over Kansas.

After throwing 13 interceptions last year (against only 13 touchdowns), Boone hasn't yet tossed the ball to the opposition in 2014. Of course, Duke has played a cake schedule (Elon, Troy and KU) in starting 3-0. CBS Sports' Derek Stephens wrote over the summer that Boone possessed "enough arm talent to make an NFL roster." The athletic, 6-foot, 230-pounder "has struggled with consistency and decision-making thus far in his college career," Stephens wrote at the time. We'll see what happens when ACC play starts up.
